The Data Corrupter’s analog circuitry gives it a rich, harmonically complex, and expressive musical voice with stable, instantaneous tracking, courtesy of its rock solid oscillators. How you use it is up to you. Below are audio examples of five cool sounds I’ve unlocked...

Nothing ruins a bassist’s night faster than some chump soundperson sticking some busted looking DI box on top of his or her SVT. As musicians, we spend untold thousands of dollars, and in some cases an entire lifetime acquiring mountains of gear...

When Jamie announced that our NAMM release this year was a dark modulated delay, my ears perked up immediately. My internal monologue (in between thoughts about Geddy Lee) would have read something like this...

When we pulled this thing out of the Upside Down back in October, it was hotter than a stack of Eggo waffles, nailing those creepy Stranger Things vibes with its extra resonant, highly modulated filter swept ambience...

This month I’m giving thanks and paying respect to my favorite bassists flying under-the-radar. Reference this handy guide at dinner when your drunk uncle starts talking politics so you can drop some bass knowledge and change the subject just long enough to plan your escape...

The Rainbow Machine is the black sheep of the EarthQuaker Devices family. It’s our red-headed step child, the wizard in the cupboard under the stairs, the one Device to rule them all; the audio equivalent of a map to Luke Skywalker that’ll take your tone to the twilight zone, open your third eye, tickle your lizard brain, and fire up your Improbability Drive faster than you can say “Zaphod Beeblebrox...”
